LEXINGTON, MA—Monday is National Pets Day, and many residents as well as others across the country are honoring their furry friends.

According to petdayusa.com, National Pet Day was founded by Animal Welfare Advocate Colleen Paige, to celebrate the joy pets bring to our lives and to create public awareness about the plight of many different kinds of animals awaiting a forever home in shelters and rescues all around the globe. The organization urges Americans to volunteer at local animal shelters, donate pet supplies and to have fun with their fur children.

What better way to do that then to take your fur baby out to eat!
